GoalScorer Challenge September 10

Fantasy Football Scout joining forces with GoalScorer Challenge

Fantasy Football Scout have teamed up with the popular GoalScorer Challenge competition this season.

We will be giving away a Premium Membership to the best manager every month to go with the game’s £500 top prize for the campaign’s ultimate winner.

If you have not played before, GoalScorer Challenge is a very simple, and FREE, game. Every week you pick one player from the Premier League who you think is most likely to score. The more goals that man racks up, the more points you do. But pick wisely, as you can only pick each player once per season.

There are three types of Gameweeks:

Premier League – most weekends there will be a full round of fixtures comprising games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. These will all be included. If there is a full round of fixtures during midweek (for example over the Christmas period) these will be counted as a separate Gameweek.

International – during international breaks, you still have to pick a Premier League player. However, you get the points for any goals they score for their country. Only full internationals count, any underage matches are not included. International Gameweeks will span three days and for 2020/21 there are seven of these in total.

Cup – on FA Cup weekends, you are again limited to players playing for Premier League teams. The EFL Cup final will also be included as it will take place alongside a regular round of Premier League matches.

Each player will only ever play once in each Gameweek, the first game for which he is eligible. If, for example, a national team play twice over a weekend, the first match after the week’s deadline will be the applicable fixture. 

If your player does not play, whether it be due to injury, suspension or being left out, you have still used them up and cannot re-pick them for the duration of the season.

If your player’s game is postponed, you do not get to re-pick the player and any goals he scores in the rearranged fixture will not count.

The onus is on you to make sure your pick is eligible, particularly on international weeks where some games can kick off before the deadline.

Full details, rules and entry can be FOUND HERE.

      Hi TheDragon, just wanted to check, did you look at the link?

      It is a totally free game setup by a fantasy fan with zero gambling connections that I'm aware of.
      Several people in the community played it last year and said it was fun, so when the creator put out a call on Twitter for some support this week, we offered to step in and help out. Not sure really what is wrong with that?

          That's totally fair enough and we are ALWAYS listening to what's being said.

          To be honest I don't think we have done any more partnerships than in an average season previously. We deliberately keep the number compact and say no to most approaches. Sky and FanTeam are fantasy games we've partnered with for a while, so I think it's just Football Index and Bet365 that are new this year (although previously we may have worked with Paddy Power, The Sun or Draft Kings/Fan Duel, etc).

          Everything has been a little more compressed this year for various reasons and so maybe it feels like more 'all at once', or maybe we need to be smarter at spacing things out and communicate - we will certainly try.

          One thing I did want to stress is that nothing new will come at the expense of regular content, we are actively investing more this year to continue evolving content on the site, social and YouTube.

    If you could only pick one of Auba and Salah (at least initially), who would you pick, and why?

    I think Salah marginally has the edge for GW1 captaincy but think Auba could easily make that back with a much nicer GW2 fixture...

    I've been sold on Lateriser's premium captaincy hokey pokey strategy (I think) so this would likely only be a short term choice.

          Also, Arteta played Martinez over Leno because he played a crucial role in the cup win to get them in the CS.

        In what way?

        Fantasy Football Scout has a league worth over £1,000, surely you don't think that is a scam? We have just spent a lot of time scouring the internet to make a list of them.

    Which one is worse, having 2 5.5-6m mids or 2 6-6.5 forwards? The forward options in this price bracket seem to be better right?

      Definitely the attackers. There are far, far more options in the same range.

    You guys with Martial on the bench how is your gw1 team looking?

    I love Tony and will for sure have him for gw2 either way, might aswell save a transfer

      It’s weighing up GW1 points vs the extra transfer

      I’m planning on having Ings for GW1 and moving him straight to Martial GW2

      My dilemma.

      Which is why Gordon is stinking out my midfield.

      I can easily downgrade Doherty but reluctant as was one of my set and forgets.

      Well, I have to play Lamptey and Mitchell but as Thedragon said, it may be worth having one transfer in hand to use where needed. A lot more information confirmed afte GW1. I got Mitro as a single striker for the first week.
